Title: IP address on external interface
Post by: Jonathan on December 30, 2000, 01:17:53 AM

Where can I look to see what IP address has been currently assigned to the external interface?  I have an ADSL service with dynamically assigned IP address.

telnet into your machine and login as root
then type ifconfig. this will give your ip pluse a lot of other info.

Depending on the setup at your ISP, you may also be able to find your computer's ip address using on of the many tools for this that are on the internet. Simply point your browser to (e.g.):
http://www.netins.net/dialup/tools/my_ip.shtml
and it'll report an ip address. However, this may be the ip address of some sort of cache server at your ISP. Then use ifconfig. Look for 'ppp0' and then 'inet addr'.
